The time for us to embark on our sea-going adventure is fast approaching. Dave, Matilda and I have purchased a 45 foot trawler that is presently located in Newport Beach, CA. We will be flying down (once all the preparations are made) to bring her home to the Pacific Northwest, Summer 2009.
We estimate our journey at sea to take approximately 2 - 3 weeks to travel over 1000 nautical miles to our destination, the Port of Ilwaco, WA. This is my first sea voyage, but my captain is an old salt! Dave is an experienced commercial fishing captain (Oregon/Washington coast), and has extensive navigation experience as a bush pilot in Alaska. As ships First Mate, I will be learning from the best!
Once the SeaCrest is "home" we will be living aboard her as we make preparations for our next adventure...
I will update this blog with tales and photos of our voyage as we experience them, so please visit regularly to join in on our journey.
